In the context of this agreement, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “Saint K” and “Stephanie Fields” refer to Lovely Baubles LLC, DBA Saint K. In the context of an agreement to make, sell and purchase jewelry, the term Bespoke refers to: an item of jewelry that is made to the client’s specific request, design plan, timeframe, instructions and purpose. It includes all resources, including intellectual property, required to make and complete the ordered item, specifically: metals, gems, design and fit.
This agreement also covers Custom-made and customized items that do not meet the definition of bespoke item/s as they are based on the seller’s standard range. Custom-made and customized items have individual design alterations or rearranged features that create a non-standard personalized item. All clauses within this agreement extend to custom-made and customized items as ordered and agreed to by the client.
Bespoke and custom-made items (hereafter referred to as item/s) ordered through Saint K (hereafter referred to as the Seller) are subject to the following conditions:
Design Consultation

2. A non-refundable design fee of $200 is required to start the project, which must be paid in cash or via online at www.lovesaintk.com following the end of the consultation. Following approval of one design sketch, I will start work on the CAD. The CAD portion includes the full development of the bespoke design including identifying all materials and gems and building a 3D CAD model of the piece/s. An accurate quotation can only be given after the completion of the design and 3D model. Two revisions are included in the price, and each additional revision is $50.
4. Payment for stones must be made in full up front. Payment of a non-refundable deposit of either 50% of the finished cost, as quoted upon completion of the 3D model or the total cost of the resources required to complete the item/s (as agreed to by both parties) is required to begin production.
5. Should the client decide not to proceed with the project after procuring any gemstones, the client will own the stones. Saint K does not accept returns for any gemstones purchased for the project.
Quotation and Payment
6. Quotes for any item/s produced by the Seller are based on the cost of the required resources, including solid components, design services and time, at time of ordering.
7. Due to the time, resources and skills required to make item/s, in the event of a non-completed sale the client agrees that the non-refundable paid deposit will be used in its entirety by the Seller to recover the costs associated with the making of the client’s ordered item/s.

Natural diamonds and gemstones may contain mineral deposits, fluorescence, and other characteristics the old-time traditionalists call “inclusions.” However, it is these same inclusions that give your stone its totally unique beauty. It is your stone’s “fingerprint”. No one else will have a stone like it. Mixed and natural is more beautiful than white and flawless any day!
Natural diamonds can be a bit more brittle than colorless diamonds. Care should be taken not to expose them to excessive force.
We do our best to show the stone you are buying in a light that represents its actual look, color, and characteristics.
Each piece of our jewelry is hand-crafted and therefore delicate. Please use appropriate care to enjoy our jewelry for a long time. The majority of our collections are made from 14k yellow, white or rose gold, and can be cleaned with a polishing cloth. Please do NOT dip any Saint K piece in jewelry cleaners or solutions. This may cause corrosion and permanent damage to the metal.
All of the stones we use are natural gemstones, therefore they may vary in shape, size and color. Inclusions can be seen in natural stones and is a part of their beauty. Most gemstones do not stand the force of cleaning agents, polishing cloth or ultrasonic cleaners. Just wipe gemstones with a little water and a soft, lint-free cloth.
